BSP-098: Reading Facebook Makes You Miserable

On episode 98 of the BSP, I talk about Apple acquiring Shazam, Twitter rolling out tweet storms, Facebooking allowing you to mute your friends, studies showing that reading Facebook negatively impacts your mood, Apple podcast statistics going live, Instagram changing it’s feed algorithm, Google Home Max release, iMac Pro release, T-mobile launching it’s own TV service, Disney acquiring Fox properties, Rebox launching a digital distribution service, The FCC repealing net neutrality, and Apple ordering a show from Ronald D. Moore.

I then talk about my initial thoughts on my new headphones, the Shure SRH940’s. In the ask bandrew segment I answer questions ranging from How to come up with ideas for videos, to podcast formatting, how I create audio backups, to If I think buying mics that suck is a waste of money?
